Creed - slide - promo no web.jpg

The Apostle's Creed tells us to believe in the holy catholic church, but what does that mean? What exactly is the church and the communion of Saints? In this message we will take a look at what Jesus intended the church to be and what that means for us.


Join us this Sunday as we continue the Creed sermon series with the message "The Church and the Communion of Saints."
